TOBACCO-PIPE.

Application filed May 15, 1908.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FERDINAND GELTZ, koniglieher forstmeister, subject of the King of Prussia, residing at Beurig, nearv Saarburg, (Prussia,) Germany, have invented new and useful Improvements in Tobacco-Pipes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a tobacco-pipe with a smoke-tube reaching uninterruptedly from the mouthpiece almost to the bowl, and separate exterior chambers for the reception of nicotin and saliva, the purpose of this arrangement being to keep the smoke as far as possible separated from the saliva and nicotin.

The accompanying drawings show the invention in one form of construction. In the projecting part (a) of the bowl (1)) is pierced the smoke-channel (d) and also an additional channel (0) for the rece tion of the nicotin, one end opening direct y below the bowl of the pipe, the other end being connected with the smoke-tube (e) so that smoke can be drawn from the bowl directly into the mouth without passing through the nicotinchamber.

To guard against the entrance of ashes into the smoke-channel (d) the opening of it is covered with a sheet of perforated metal (f) which also guides the drops of falling nicotin past the opening and into the reservoir beneath. The object of this arrangement is to separate the lighter and more volatile gases from the nicotin almost directly on leaving the bowl, so that the taste of the smoke may not be influenced, particular care being taken that the smoke does not pass over the surface of the already separated nicotin.

The principal object of this arrangement is the separation of smoke and nicotin, the second object is to keep the smoke as far as possible from contact with saliva in the interior of the pipe.

The smoke-tube (e) is surrounded by a chamber divided into two compartments (h) and (i) by the diagonal partition (g), the upper part being closed by a funnel (7c) in which an o ening (Z), op osite to the outlet (m) allows t e saliva to fa 1 onto the diagonal artition (g) passing thence through the outet (m) into the lower part of the chamber, whence it can be emptied through the stopped opening (a) by help of the funnel formed by the diagonal partition (g) with the sides of the chamber. This arrangement insures the most perfect separation of the saliva from Specification of Letters Patent.

the smoke-tube and guards moreover against its flowing back into the stem of the pipe, no matter in what position the pipe may happen to be for even if the pipe is completely inverted the saliva is either led by the diagonal. partition into the lower chamber or kept in the upper by means of the angle formed by the funnel, even though present in large quantities. The invention would however be incomplete if the smoke-tube were not also closed against the entry of saliva. This is provided by means of a hood arranged above the collecting point of the saliva and set onto the smoke-tube by means of its tubular lower end (0), narrowing above to a waist and spreading out beyond into a globe,

the upper extremity of which terminates in a tube (q) which narrows suddenlyand is bent to one side.

The channel ((1) can be modified in the form of a cavity as it is indicated by the dotted lines (1*) for collecting the ashes which have penetrated eventually the perforated sheet (j).

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A tobacco pipe comprising a bowl having a channel for the nicotin extending from its lower part, and a smoke channel extending from the upper part of the nicetin channel downwardly to the exterior of the bowl, and a stem having a smoke channel therein communicating with the smoke channel in the bowl.

2. A tobacco pipe comprising a bowl having a projecting lower part, a stem having a smoke channel therein and a socket adapted to receive said projecting part, said projecting art having a nicotin channel extending vertically therethrough and connecting the bottom of the bowl with the socket, a smoke channel extending from the upper part of the nicotin channel downwardly at an angle to the exterior of said projecting part, and communicating with the smoke channel in the stem.

3. A tobacco pipe comprising a bowl, a smoke tube connected with the bowl, a casing surrounding said smoke tube, a diagonal partition in said casing dividing the same into two chambers, said partition having an opening at the lower end thereof, said casing having a controlled opening therein under the partition and adjacent the upper end thereof, a funnel in the upper chamber having its opening arranged diagonally and adjacent the upper part of the partition, the smoke tube opening into the upperpart of the casing above the funnel, and a mouth piece connected to the upper part of the casing.

4. A tobacco pipe comprising a bowl, a smoke tube connected to the bowl, a casing surrounding the tube, collecting means in the casing for the saliva a hood on the smoke tube above said collecting means, and a bent tube connected to said hood.

5. A tobacco pipe comprising a bowl, a smoke tube connected thereto, a casing surrounding the upper part of the tube, saliva collecting means for said casing, a hood 0n the upper art of said tube and within the casing, sai hood consisting of a globe having a tubular lower proj ecting portion for engage tube, said portion narrowing upwards to a waist and spreading out M ing the end of t
